Every day, therefore, should be regulated as if it were the one that brings up the rear, the one that rounds out and completes our lives.
Seneca the YoungerNature has made us passive, and to suffer is our lot. While we are in the flesh every man has his chain and his clog; only it is looser and lighter to one man than to another, and he is more at ease who takes it up and carries it than he who drags it.
Seneca the Younger
